The EU rules over a large part of our everyday life: trade agreements, competition rules, fishing quotas and some environmental legislation. In terms of trade agreements, there are strong forces working for international trade agreements that give companies the right to sue states if the regulations risk reducing the companies' profits. Examples of such agreements are TTIP and JEPHTA. In Sweden, especially the Christian Democrats, the Liberals and the Center Party have worked for such a development. Furthermore, a debate is ongoing in the EU about cooperating more on social issues and labor law. How the EU develops is decided by the citizens. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to vote in the upcoming elections.
In Sweden is the election to the European Parliament on Sunday 26 May. Here you can read more about EU elections.
Now we vote forward a fairer and more democratic Europe!
Illogical post. In principle, everything that is mentioned is not decided by the parliament, which is rather toothless. I'm just voting ironically.
Nor does it say that Parliament decides on these things, though
The EU Parliament has gained more and more influence over time.
